My husband and I stayed at the Edgewater for our honeymoon. It was my first time in Rarotonga and my husband's 3rd. We absolutely loved our room, loved the gardens the birds, the chickens the cats the sound of the sea... Our room had a walk in shower which was perfect with reasonable pressure. The only thing that we didn't like was the price of the restaurant food and lack of cheap lunch options, and communication issues at times as we tried to alert staff of our neighbours smoking in their room which leaked into our room and it wasn't really understood well we had to follow up. Also there was a electricity outage scheduled overnight but we were told very last minute. I need electricity for medical reasons it took quite a few enquiries before they gave us another room for the night so I would be ok. However they were gracious and kind, talked politely and were friendly. Loved the chickens running around it boosted my soul and the dogs too absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Though it rained most of our stay we loved our time there and we want to thank you.

The food was excellent, the cultural show was great, the waiters were not attentive , we had to find them and ask to order our food but the food was excellent. I guess that is where tipping would give them incentive to try harder.They really don’t expect tipping there.

I loved our stay here. The bed was good, the shower was great. The rooms we stayed in the 900 building could use some updating with the tile and the general appearance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was a little hard to find at times near the rooms. I wasn’t a fan of the tropical breakfast, I needed some protein so we usually got a hand pie somewhere else after we ate the tropical breakfast.i did order an omelet the first morning but it was a La carte and the onions weren’t cooked through. The property is a nice property with great views and a good beach area. The one activity we did was fun, sarong tying. Lots of chickens running around that’ll wake you up but this could happen at many properties on Rarotonga.
